Great family movie and the action was superb!

My family has always been a fan of the Mummy and when the same creators
started The Scorpion King franchise we've watched ever since. I have to
say, between the amazing fight sequences and the humor (that lacked in
the other ones) this movie was all around quite enjoyable. It's kid
friendly and worth watching! It's definitely an
action/adventure/comedy. Those looking for a serious drama won't find
it here. The performances were hilarious and the chemistry between the
actors was enjoyable. My favorite scene was between Ellen Hollman
(Valina) and Eve Torres(Chancara). It may just be the best fight scene
between two women I've ever seen!

Light hearted, adventure for family.

When my friend mentioned to me there was a Scorpion King 4, he said
this was a Nanar, which is a french word they use in France, with the
equivalent in English that could be "movies there so bad there good"
but at the same time, its not exactly that.

First of all the movie is made to be an action adventure comedy, with a
huge emphasis on comedy. Its been so long i have not seen the first
Scorpion King with Dwayne Johnson, i can't remember exactly but i am
sure it was not that "on the comedy aspect" if i can say.

It seem the cast just had fun with this one, its almost like watching a
Disney cartoon with real persons. If you can remember Hercules the
Legendary Journeys with Kevin Sorbo, well this is close to that.

So could we really call it a "Nanar"? Not really cause it seem they
really knew what they wanted to do and they did just that. Honestly i
had fun watching it, the characters where cool, and sure at times i was
like "oh common really?" but always with a smile. Its just a good
family fun time.

Just don't expect anything serious and you should enjoy it.

The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power

The Scorpion King saga continues the tradition of those quasi-
fantastic semi-epic pseudo-medievals (prefixes attack!) which were
quite popular during the '80s. And even though The Scorpion King 4:
Quest for Power isn't my favorite one of the saga (I liked The Scorpion
King and The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption more), I found it
entertaining due its pleasant humorous tone, decent performances and
the fact that director Mike Elliott made the good decision of not
taking the movie very seriously. The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power
imitates the TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (not to mention
half a dozen of similar works, from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
to the Indiana Jones saga), and the result is positive... as long as we
have the standard of '80s B cinema in our minds. That might sound
condescending, but I sincerely enjoyed the light sense of humor of The
Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power, as well as the performances and the
modest action scenes, which are nothing spectacular, but are well
choreographed and competently shot. Victor Webster brings a credible
and charismatic performance in the leading role (and his presence in
here will be doubly amusing to the fans of the TV series Continuum
-like me-, in which he plays a serious and efficient policeman). In the
supporting cast, we have competent works from various cult
"celebrities": Barry Bostwick, Rutger Hauer, Michael Biehn, M. Emmet
Walsh, Don Wilson and Lou Ferrigno. And a special mention to Ellen
Hollman as the audacious Valina, who would deserve her own spin-off
thanks to her perfect combination of personality and physical
development. In conclusion, I can give a moderate recommendation to The
Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power to those familiarized with indie
action who know how to adjust their expectations (and sense of humor)
to this cinematographic niche, which is better known for avoiding
mistakes than its intrinsic pros. There I go again with the
condescension... but I employ it with sincere affection, and I can say
without any irony that I will be looking forward to a fifth The
Scorpion King movie. But, if they keep imitating Hercules, the least
they can do is giving a role to Kevin Sorbo. And not a cameo, but a
meaty role in which he can show off. And, to keep dreaming, how busy
will Lucy Lawless be? Is there any place for a "Scorpion Queen"?
